Alsace-Lorraine

The TGV EST EUROPEEN puts Alsace and Lorraine on your doorstep!

From 10 June 2007 the TGV EST EUROPEEN will link up 30 new towns in France and Europe. Why not come aboard with us and discover some amazing places that are now within easy reach?

Nancy/Lunéville

In the 18th century, the king without a kingdom, Stanislas Leszczynski, became Duke of Lorraine after offering his daughter in marriage to Louis XV. He remodelled Nancy, creating superb architectural complexes including Stanislas Square, the most famous example.

In Lunéville, the château (currently undergoing reconstruction) is a must-see - it’s Lorraine’s own Versailles, complete with French-style gardens... not forgetting the Church of Saint-Jacques, with its superb baroque towers.

1H30/1h50 from Paris

Epinal

In between Vosges and the thermal spas, the town of Épinal offers a host of attractions: the marina, Bouzet Lake, the château, from which you can enjoy a clear view over the town, and a cornucopia of floral displays.

2h15 from Paris

Strasbourg

Strasbourg, Capital of Europe, has 2000 years of history behind it but still resolutely looks towards the future.

From the sublime Notre-Dame Cathedral to the “Petite France” district, not forgetting the Kammerzell House, Orangery Park or the Rohan Palace, the city has one of Europe’s most beautiful urban landscapes.

Saverne

On the borders of Alsace and Lorraine, Saverne has a rich architectural heritage: well worth seeing here are the magnificent Château des Rohan and the Maison Katz, a thoroughly traditional half-timbered Alsatian house.

2h00 from Paris

Colmar

Capital of the Alsace wine region, Colmar boasts numerous monuments and a lively old town. A replica of the Statue of Liberty stands in the north of the town where its creator, Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi, was born.

Mulhouse

In the 19th century Mulhouse was the centre of a great industrial boom. The legacy of those times are its unique architecture and rich cultural heritage, including the famous Schlumpf brothers’ automobile museum, one of the biggest prestige car museums in the world.
